This is the second part of our newly created Beginner Intensive course, created to accompany the keenest budding improvisors from their starting steps in this wonderful art form until they reach the stage in their first show at the end of June!
Merging parts of our traditional Starting Steps courses, you will level up and build on the skills you learned in part 1, whilst getting better acquainted not only with the improvisers’ toolkit, how to build a good platform and tilts, but also how to go from short scenes into a longer story. We will still hone in on the more performative skills (characters, physicality, emotions, space and object work) but all within the context of a longform narrative improvisation. And yes be showcased on stage in an end of year showcase for friends and family on December 14!
This course is primarily designed for the students who have already taken part 1; however, if you have some improv experience and would like to join part 2, you can email us at classes@improbubble.com so we can see whether this course is a right fit for where you are in your journey. We take improv very seriously, so we expect absences to be kept to a minimum and for our students to contribute to a safe and respectful atmosphere for all (you all be asked to read & agree to our policies in full at checkout).

About the teachers
Adrien Hoppe
Adrien was born in 1985 and started improv and theater simultaneously at the age of 16. After finishing secondary school in theater option (Athénée Royal Rixensart) he continued studying theater at the conservatory (conservatoire royal de Mons) while remaining in the Improvisation.be championship.After conservatory he entered the BIL (Belgische Impro Liga - Flemish) and the LIP (Ligue d'Improvisation Professionnelle - French) while also doing contemporary theater with "Le Groupe Sanguin", a theater company that works collectively and without hierarchy on texts by belgian authors.
In 2014, he participated in his first english speaking international improv festival, the Big If in Barcelona. This experience truly opened him up and broadened his view on what improv makes possible. Since then he's been experiencing and searching for new ways, new formats, new challenges to push his improv always further.
Sara De Sable
Sara De Sable is a Dutch/English theatrical improviser and community artist living and working in Brussels. She studied Fine Arts at the Gerrit Rietveld Academy in Amsterdam, but always experimented with the performative elements of visual arts, and with her own body as visual material. She is a professionally active improviser in and around Brussels, and teaches improv and art in the socio-artistic sector. She also works as a producer for a young theater collective.
Sara is part of several improv teams and shows, Huntress & Healer amongst others, and often hosts improv jams for ImproBubble.
She has an improv duo show with a local musician, called SPLONK!, where an exchange between sound, music and visual art and the audience's input are the focus. Sara has made several visual site-specific/interactive installations in public space over the last thirteen years. She also teaches improv to youngsters, kids, and people who are learning Dutch.
With a love of authentic, quirky and vulnerable improv, she is not afraid to show herself on stage and invite you into her universe.
